After the Marky Sparky toys, Leo gets another heads-up from Dick with this gadget.The MicPort Pro acts as a mic preamp for your professional microphone and provides a USB interface to connect to your computer. One end has an XLR port for your mic, and the other end has a USB port to connect to the computer via a USB cable.
It has a 1/8" headphones jack, and volume control buttons for the mic and headphones. USB-powered. Ideal for mobile podcasters and musicians.
Confusion over the Great Gildersleeve
Tom, or Chuck, points out that the particular voice that Leo was looking for was not that of Harold Peary in The Great Gildersleeve (Episode 382), but Frank Nelson. Leo plays a sound clip of Frank Nelson saying "Y-e-e-e-s".

Confusion over the GEC Chimes
It remains unsettled whether the G-E-C chimes of NBC had anything to do with General Electric Company (Episode 377), despite Wikipedia. Leo thinks his NBC engineer is a more authoritative source.
Leo is Wrong
So many people are saying Leo is wrong that Dick and Leo think there should be another jingle for it.
